Yes, because the Egyptian location features a warm climate throughout all seasons (temperatures range between 35°C and 45°C in summer and between 20°C and 25°C in winter). A dry heat, therefore more easily bearable, ensured by the protection of the surrounding towering mountains. 

Besides the fantastic climate, Sharm el-Sheikh is increasingly sought after by many visitors for the natural spectacle the city offers. Here, in fact, a fantastic underwater world allows tourists dream dives and refreshing swims. The warm and pristine waters provide ideal conditions to see the astounding coral reef, easily visible just a few meters from the shore and just a few centimeters deep. The most popular sporting activity is, therefore, scuba diving and snorkeling thanks to over forty dive sites and sixty diving centers.

For those who do not particularly enjoy diving, many other sports activities are available such as sailing, windsurfing, and golf. Those who love excursions can explore the fascinating Sinai desert by four-wheel drive, jeep, camel, or horse. This also presents the unmissable opportunity to admire a magical sunset while tasting local tea or coffee or the typical hṓmmos esh-sha-m (made from chickpeas, cumin, lemon, and tomato sauce), abu simbel (a sweet liquor), and karkadè (hibiscus flower infusion). Excursions continue with the protected area of Abu Galum, the Nabq National Park, Pharaoh’s Island, the Feiran oasis, the Ras Mohammed marine park, Tiran Island, and the salt lake until reaching the pyramids of Giza and Luxor

Sharm el-Sheikh hosts its tourists in 2 to 5 star hotels and resorts and offers typical dishes like fu-l, ta’méyya, tahina, and much more in numerous restaurants. And when night falls, fun and pleasure fill the discos, casinos, and characteristic venues where you can smoke the hookah while relaxing on comfortable cushions.
